Peter King: Rand Paul ‘perpetuating this big lie’

While reconciliation between Sen. Rand Paul and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie could be on the horizon, it doesn’t seem as likely for the Kentucky Republican and Rep. Peter King.

“He’s perpetuating this big lie, talking about pork and somehow trying to demean Gov. Christie because he fought so hard for his state, or me, because I fought so hard for mine,” the New York Republican told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday, once again accusing Paul of being an “isolationist” and slamming him for his vote on Sandy Aid.

GOP's dream 2016 ticket?

“Aid to Egypt has nothing to do with aid to Long Island, or New Jersey. They’re two separate issues and he should know the difference between Egypt, Long Island and New York … Sen. Paul claims to be a great friend of Israel but yesterday the ambassador to Israel … said that continuing American aid to Egypt is essential to maintain the peace process and maintain the Egyptian-Israeli peace agreement that was negotiated under President Carter over 30 years ago,” King told Blitzer. “So it’s very easy to say ‘cut this, cut that,’ you can have an intelligence debate about it, but so far he hasn’t shown very much intelligence.”
